• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Emergent?

Hi all,

Is there a specific place for people interested in the emergent movement? The search function isn't working for me for some reason.

Thanks :)

No, not directly.

WWMC is the closest you will come.

Yep, WWMC is the only Congregation area that specifically welcomes Emergent, "emerging church" or postmodern people as among its members. That's why I'm here -- although I'm conservative evangelical and Pentecostal, I'm also an "emerging church" person.

(I take "Emergent" as referring specifically to the organization called Emergent Village, associated with Brian McLaren among others. While I enjoy reading McLaren, and I've gained some good insights from him, he's too liberal for me, as are some of the other EV people... and so I prefer the more general term "emerging".)

Okay, thanks for the input :)

I'm somewhat involved in an 'emergent cohort' (just a meeting of emergent-minded people, but I hope that a house church starts soon), so I'm def. into emergent village things :)

Good luck on that! :thumbsup:

I'd say I could be into emergent village things, but not so much Emergent Village things, if you see the distinction.
